There is a huge
extremely wealthy temple in India. People all over the world offer alms and
money to the deity of that temple. In turn the deity is supposed to fulfill all
material needs of devotees.
There lived a
businessman who had fallen into bad times. This guy was an ardent devotee of
the same deity. However he and his wife were too poor to offer anything to the
lord.
*************
One day the couple
prayed to the deity thus:
‘’Lord if you make us
successful in the next venture we shall offer you a kilo of husk.’’ The devotee
was ashamed of himself for saying this but then he had nothing else to offer.
Lo and behold. The
deity actually accepted this and the man came in leaps and bounds in his next
venture. So much so that the devotee got busy in his business and conveniently
forgot to make the promised offerings.
